Half-Light: Sunrises
February full-moon sunrise
March Sunrise
Early classes means driving to school before sunrise
I took all these pictures during the last month and they were all taken in the early in the morning. I love sunrises, there are always so many colors associated. I just don’t like getting this early. Good thing I only have three more weeks of school left.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Alley, Driveway, and Parking Lot
I don’t have any dirt road pictures, so I’m excluding that from the title. Here is one of each: an alley, driveway, and parking lot. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Alley, Driveway, and Parking Lot”
Marooned to Salt Lake
Have you ever been to a dog park and seen the dogs run wild and free while their owners sat on the sideline chatting? They look just so happy, don’t they? Being off the leash? Continue reading “Marooned to Salt Lake”
Nature’s Art
This picture was taken at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada last September. I stopped there on my way home from Las Vegas. It was incredibly hot that day, almost 100°F and it was dry heat so every breath I took in burned in my lungs. I enjoyed the desert landscapes anyway.
I’ve chosen this picture to represent this week’s photo challenge and discover challenge because I believe the word, harmony, has a lot of different meanings. In my mind, harmony is a group of people, animals, and even objects come together in peace and create something amazing and to see, well, that’s invoking a sense, right?
When I look at this picture, it reminds me of this. In a way, this desert landscape is a work of art created by mother nature and this is how I see it:
Each time a gust of wind goes by, a group of sandstone particles would volunteer to surrender their place, they would choose to explore elsewhere even though they knew that once they leave, they’re never coming back. Over time, as more and more of these sandstone particles choose to move on, to travel and find a new home by means of the wind, a gaping hole would be in their places and sooner or later, the rock will look more and more like a block of Swiss cheese or it will transform into a peculiar sculpture that looks like the upper half of a man’s body.
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Sepia Tone Only
So I finally brought my camera with me to school but so far, I haven’t been able to capture a lot of images. This is one of them. My original goal was to take this in the dark because the minute and second hands light up but I missed my chance. Now, I’ll just have to wait until winter to capture it again.
This is a magnificent object in the school. It’s about the only thing that stands out for miles and with the mountains in the back, the scenery is breathtaking.
This was taken in the moment, just seconds before I had to sprint to catch the shuttle last week. For some reason, the mountains look incredibly close. It looks like the mountains are just beyond those buildings and stairs.

Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Weather
The past few weeks, it’s not been pretty here. Fog, haze, and gray skies, everyday not to mention the horrible air quality. Typical Utah winter. Continue reading “Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Weather”
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are Smooth
I’ve just spent the majority of this week taking mid-terms and even after the deep massage on Wednesday, my back still aches and so is my head. Maybe I need a couple more sessions. Anyway, for this week’s Fun Foto challenge, I decided to go with the theme: Food. Hope you enjoy. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are Smooth”
Failed Imitation
I gotta be honest, when I saw this week’s photo challenge, I was a bit stumped because after I saw so many posting pictures of them or someone posing with statues, I knew I wouldn’t have any of those pictures lying around especially I don’t like to pose with things. After brainstorming for a few days, I finally came up with just the pictures to show.
When I took these pictures last December, I was still experimenting with the new camera. Both were taken with the Intelligent Auto setting (a what-turned-out-to-be-a useful setting). However, right before I pressed the shutter button for the first picture (the pretty one), the Intelligent Auto setting switched to Night setting and the flash was immediately turned off. I tried to snap one more (the second picture) but for some reason, the setting was reverted back to Auto. Thus, that’s the reason for the second picture.
Somethings just cannot be imitated, that includes shooting photographs.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are Cold
Other than snow, I don’t have a lot of pictures that represent cold things. However, as I was scrolling through Instagram on my laptop, I came across this picture. I don’t remember taking this picture let alone posting it to Instagram because why would I take a picture of a block of ice?
In the caption, it said, “Three hours in the sun and the ice’s still there.” So I guess this proves just how cold the water is.
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Chinese Delicacy
Since Chinese New Year is coming up next Monday, for this week’s black and white challenge, I have decided to turn my pictures of this traditional Chinese Delicacy into black and white. Continue reading “Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Chinese Delicacy”

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are hot
These are some of the pictures I took during my first trip to Yellowstone about 5 years ago. 5 years? Has it really been that long? Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that are hot”
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Lines and Angles
I originally had two pictures I want to put into this post but I changed my mind. The other one looked weird and I think this picture will do all that I need even though I thought it looked less overexposed on my tablet. So this week’s topic is lines and angles. Continue reading “Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Lines and Angles”
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pink or Magenta Flowers
First of all, I want to apologize for posting old pictures. Spring hasn’t come and everything is still bare. So no new flower pictures. Hopefully, when March comes, I’ll have some new pictures. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pink or Magenta Flowers”
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Snow and Sunset
The topic this week is anything that starts with the letter S. It took me a while as the only word that came to me was “snow” but eventually, I’ve come up with these pictures. I hope you enjoy. 🙂 Continue reading “Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Snow and Sunset”

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Blue or Purple Flowers
There’s something I don’t have just lying around: blue and purple flowers. I haven’t seen a lot of those anywhere. So I have to be a little creative here. Continue reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Blue or Purple Flowers”
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Lights
I’ve learned that sometimes, black and white doesn’t look as good of a picture as it should, that sometimes I have to get creative.
